Google+Earth+and+Voicethread+Tasc+Wheel

=Hayles Hughes' Tasc Wheel=

  I know that Google Earth finds different places in the world. It will take you to the spot that you have requested to see. Voicethread I have never heard of. Have I presented material about Google Earth and voicethread before? No I have never used voicethread and for Google Earth I have just used it to find different places in the world. Do I understand what I have to do? Is there anything I don’t understand about this activity? Yes I understand what I have to do in order to get the best mark possible. I am not sure about voicethread because I have never used it but I will be able to learn about the program. I will have no troubles with Google Earth. What skills and knowledge will I be using? I will be using the skills from when I have been using Google Earth and for voicethread I will use my computer knowledge. ||  For this Google Earth project I would like to make everyone aware of the places I have chosen if they have never heard of them before, and if they know the place they might learn some facts about the place. To make my project more interesting I could get some good pictures. What do I need in order to do this? What materials do I have? What resources do I need? Should I do more research on Google Earth and voicethread? I will need some facts about the place and some images. I can use some information that I already know and find some information off the web. I will get some images from home and some off the web. I will need to do some research on voicethread so I know what I am doing. Who will be looking at this work? How can I appeal to other students? The Teachers and student will be looking at my work get some interesting photos that theThe Teachers and student will be looking at my work get some interesting photos that they want to look at want to look at. Are there examples of Google Earth and voicethread projects or materials that I can look at? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes there are heaps of voicethreads to look at to get some ideas off and the teacher has showed us what to do in Google Earth so I know what to do. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What are the obstacles? What problems may happen? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The obstacles that could happen are that the programme won’t work and I might have some troubles with voicethread because it is a new programme and I don’t know how it works. || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I need to choose at least three images for each place in order to get a good mark. I decided to choose the pictures that I did because they were good images of what I needed and had good angles. I chose the places that I did because some of the places I had been so I could use images that I took. I chose some of the places that I did because I wanted to learn more about that place and some of the places are where I would like to go. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What aspects of Google Earth and voicethread interest me? What would I want to see on a poster? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I like how on Google Earth you can go really close to the place and anywhere in the world it will take you. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each idea. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Some advantages for my ideas would be for the images if I get good ones they will be eye catching but if they are not so good people might not be so interested. People could want to learn more about the places I chose but if the already knew about the place they might not be so interested. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Are there any other subjects to consider? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">No I don’t think there is any other subjects. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What resources (books, websites, etc.) have I been provided with? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I have been provided with Google images, Google web, documents that Mrs Beadle has sent us, the programs, Voicethread account and the use of our laptops. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What do other people think about this? Do others think I have a good idea? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think that people know that I have been having troubles with Google Earth because every time that I put it in it didn’t save but it ended up working in the end. I think people think that I have a good understanding on what I am doing. || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think that my best ideas are using photos that I have taken. Finding good images on what I am doing to show the best of the place as possible. Finding useful facts so that I hope people will learn more facts about the place <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Explain your reasons for choosing these. What are the arguments for and against each idea? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I want to use photos that I have taken because it increases the chance of getting a good mark. I want to get good photos so people can see the place well. I want to get good facts so people might be able to learn something from it. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Which idea is the best one for completing the task?

What are the steps to follow? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I will complete the pictures in word first with all the information. Make a voicethread for each place Put bullet points in Google Earth for each place and put my voicethread presentations onto the bullet points Save my work Watch them <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">How will I keep track of my progress? What are my milestones? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I will complete as much work in class and keep on the right track and not get side tracked. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Possible list of steps: <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msolist: Ignore; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Research and gather material about my subject. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msolist: Ignore; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Revise material and compose text for poster. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msolist: Ignore; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Create graphics. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msolist: Ignore; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Take pictures.
